  ... failed to, all with an uninhibited dark sense of "humor".

  Brilliant send up, showing why the US "came to this" (deep $%!# today).

  Disassociation from responsibility and group hysteric psychotic complicity is what this film is about.

  Perfect "Rapture".

  Bateman was perfect as the totally self-consumed 80's denizen. My favorite scene was the business card scene. And Bateman's work ethic...nothing.

  It's meant to be a devastating attack on Ronald Regan and the materialistic 80's. At least that's what the writer says.
  
  I found it to be one of the stupidest and pointless movies I've ever seen.
  
  I don't use this word often describing a movie, but I'd say it was despicable.

    Loved the acting, and deco, didn't care much for the plot, but appreciated the intent of the director.

    he cut and ran from Beirut after the Marine bombing. He should have been thrown into Gitmo with Ollie N for a roommate.

      ....and what did he take the fifth for?
